He eats them, then they have to wait for him to go to the bathroom…

First of all, nobody here actually knows how the big guy in the pic ended up that way. Some possible examples have already been listed in this thread, so I won’t waste the time or bandwidth listing them again, but, yes, there are many ways a person can get fat that are entirely beyond his/her control. However, the guy could have also taken steps to minimize the effects of whatever health problem he may or may not have (i.e., seeing a doctor). With some changes in his lifestyle, he could very well have not ended up in this situation. Also, the fact the gate attendants apparently let him board the plane without making sure he had proper seating arrangements is another growing symptom of the disease commonly called “political correctness”. The photo and this thread commenting on the photo have more fails than break.com combined with a taste of meatspin.

The largest fail of all, however, is that until now, no one posting in this thread has thought to use the words “gravity”, “orbit”, or “planet” in any of their posts. How utterly sad.

They both use “depression” as an excuse, but isn’t it interesting how consuming fewer calories than you use can result in a #175 loss in six months? Something about matter not being created or destroyed.

And every morbidly obese person I know has knee problems, which never seem to be the result of them being expected to carry an extra 100-300#.

At 6′7″, I’m hardly little, but even when I was 350# due to water retention, I took size 42 Levis. I also could barely walk without being out of breath.

Finally, the reason many fat people have bad hygiene is two-fold. There’s more area to clean, and any movement is quickly tiring.

Hint: when you can no longer reach to wipe, it’s not because your arms have gotten too short.

Eating healthy food, as you say, does not necessarily lead to being thin.

Unless you eat a normal-sized portion of it which will most certainly lead to you being thin(ner).

Now go eat a super-sized salad bucket, fatso.

So, rather than blast others, why can’t you just be thankful for your good genes?

A woman (who resembles this man) nearly crushed my foot when she accidentally stepped on it.

Oh, and I couldn’t help but read some of the above comments.
First of all, loosing weight sometimes depends on your current weight.
If you look like the man in this picture, then it might be difficult to lose all that weight that was gained. However, if you’re a little overweight loosing weight CAN be as simple as exercise and watching what you eat. When I was 11, I was once a little heavy, but I just started doing walks and not eating fast foods and sweets; within a few months I lost quite a bit of weight.

And second, for some people, others weight IS our concern.
I try and help my friends and sister maintain a healthy weight. Why? Because I’m concerned about their health- it’s a shame that we humans fight to live longer lives, yet our bodies can destroy themselves because of food and disease and we only seem to be getting heavier and heavier.
That, and I lost a few family members due to health problems caused by obesity.

Put them all on exercise bikes hooked up to a generator, and voila! The worlds fattest nation is now a renewable energy source, CO2 emissions are cut cause we don’t have to haul their fat asses around on airplanes anymore and we can give all the American’s food to starving people around the rest of the world! yay!
